#UNGA #ProtectHeritage
On Sunday, 27 September 2015, Jordan and Italy, together with UNESCO, INTERPOL and UNODC will host a High-Level Special Event to launch a new international initiative that seeks to enhance the protection of cultural heritage targeted by terrorists and illicit traffickers.
Throughout the last decade, the world has witnessed a sharp increase in the amount of destruction and terrorist attacks against cultural heritage of countries affected by armed conflict, as well as the unprecedented scale of organized looting, illicit trafficking and sale of cultural objects.
The event comes against a backdrop of increased international activity aimed at countering this threat.The Security Council as well as the General Assembly have taken steps to condemn and deplore the destruction of cultural property. In June, Italy, Jordan and UNESCO hosted a roundtable discussion to assess ongoing efforts to counter the destruction of, and trafficking in, cultural property.
The Protecting Cultural Heritage initiative is a project open to all Member States, international organizations and partners wishing to join forces in support of the protection of cultural heritage from destruction and/or illicit trafficking. In order to raise awareness and multiply the actions against this threat, a social media campaign will also kick off on the day of the event with the hashtag #ProtectHeritage. Join the conversation
